Faith Connection 03.08.12

This Sunday  At Faith . . .     We will continue in our current sermon series this Sunday morning.  In this series we are looking at five major purposes for our lives.   We were planned for God’s pleasure, so your first purpose is to offer real worship. We were formed for God’s family, so your second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship. We were created to become like Christ, so your third purpose is to learn real discipleship. We were shaped for serving God, so your fourth purpose is to practice real ministry. We were made for a mission, so your fifth purpose is to live out real evangelism. This Sunday we are looking at the third purpose which is to learn real discipleship.  We were created to become like Christ.   "Real Discipleship"  Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him. See that you go on growing in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all he has done. Colossians 2:7 (TLB)  "From the very beginning, God's plan has been to make you like his Son, Jesus.  This is your destiny and the third purpose of your life."--Rick Warren Sunday night (6 PM)   Communion: When God's Family Celebrates 23 After all, I passed on to you what I had received from the Lord. On the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread 24 and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.”25 When supper was over, he did the same with the cup. He said, “This cup is the new promise made with my blood. Every time you drink from it, do it to remember me.” 26Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup, you tell about the Lord's death until he comes. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (GW)  This Saturday morning 7 AM in the fellowship room, McAllister Addition In my world. . .  Easter Musical Sunday April 1 in both morning services     Easter is just a month away, the one Sunday of the year that gives us the greatest opportunity to reach out to the unchurched, pray, invite, park in the gravel, bring just one car let's make this Easter the best on record Deacon on Deck for March:Mike Wade (962-4732) Missionary  of the week: FBC Mission Team Follow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Faith-Baptist-Church-Covington-VA/367864835486 Is there something you would like to comment about in this update?  Need to let the rest of us know something?  leave comment on Facebook at the link for this update Praise the Lord for our missionaries, we got a note from the Word of Life camp ministry, 101 Korean students came to faith in Christ (see below) Seasoned Saints meal this Tuesday (3/13) at fellowship room in McAllister addition at noon 50+ is headed to the Highland Festival this Saturday at 6 AM call John Burnham for info  You can watch or listen to the sermons from Faith on the Internet just follow this link to watch a recent sermon. http://www.truthcasting.com/player.aspx#showSermon=35980 You can also watch or listen to sermons on your iphone,ipod or ipad.  You have to download the Truthcasting app for your device. http://www.truthcasting.com/    This is Rylie Stickle who brought a special show and tell to her Sunday School class, a lady in Lynchburg made 11 quilts in memory of her grandmother, a very special way to remember her grandmother.    Pete and Mary Grace Groseclose stopped by the church this week, they were long time residents of Jackson Heights and members of Faith for many years.  Pete was our treasurer for many years and Mary Grace was active her at Faith.  It is always good to see former members, they now reside in Fishersville, VA   Another surprise snow in Alleghany county, beautiful, Elaine caught Humpback Bridge in this beautiful shot  Hope to see you Sunday
